PlasmaWell, I finally managed to get a plasma tv.  :)

Truth be told, wifee did!  We got it a week ago today, but it was supposed to be a surprise for me for the Le Mans race weekend.  Since the store doesn’t actually keep any in stock, she had to settle for a delivery date of 2 days after the Le Mans.  Talk about an awesome surprise:  <3 wifee!

When it arrived on Monday, I spent some time getting the wall bracket mounted w/o the help of my stud-finder (no no…. don’t be silly:  I’m straight.  A stud-finder helps find the 2×4’s in the wall that are behind the sheetrock).  Turns out, I’m an idiot (wait:  I knew that, already):  I was using the stud-finder ALL WRONG. 

When I was home Thursday, waiting for the cable guy to come hook up the HD cable box, I got a frantic call from work telling me that I needed to review some documentation (turns out, it was over 1 ream’s worth of documentation).  Since it was so much information, a good friend of mine brought it to me on his lunch break since it’d take too long to scan & email the doc.  When he got to the house, he showed me how to use the stupid stud-finder.  Anywho… it’s good that he did.

I spent a good deal of Saturday finishing the job, so-to-speak, and the end result is the nice shelving arrangement you see here.  Next up… mirror (shown on the left) and some other stuff for the kitchen!
